Poultry tomato sauce is lower in saturated fat and calories compared to beef and pork sauces.
Not all pasta sauces require hours of cooking and stirring. Using any cooked poultry you have on hand, you can prepare this sauce in about 45 minutes.
You can also use raw poultry. Sauté poultry in Step 1 and then cube or shred after fully cooked and return it to the sauce.
Cook’s Tips
- For seafood sauce, substitute a 5 to 7 oz. can of tuna or salmon for the poultry.
- Sauce can be refrigerated up to 7 days and frozen 6 months or more. Thaw sauce in your refrigerator. Reheat on your stove or in a microwave oven.
